Really enjoyed this post, especially the discussion on the universalist vs. particularist approach to national sovereignty (which I didn't even expect going in). The proof is in the pudding with the MAGA Communist's success on the Palestine issue, and nationalists who continue to ignore this will continue to preach to far more limited audiences (believe it or not, the uninitiated masses are much less receptive to supremacist ideologies of domination than they are to simple moral messaging of universal sovereignty). The natural reaction for most people today (bathed in liberal universalism) who learn the reality of racial differences is a desire for separation and autonomy. That is simply where White people are--so even from a purely practical standpoint of converting new people, the segments of the right that reject this are wrong (independent of their philosophical errors).

Even though this is a look at MAGA Communism, it really is a great primer for newcomers to nationalism. By highlighting the issues with Marxism, and exploring how Russia and China are scarcely "Marxist", it becomes clear that a critique of capitalism from the right in no way necessitates a proclivity for nor an alliance with "communism". That MAGA commies fall back onto debunked "Third positionism was controlled and staged by capitalists and the liberal west" arguments whenever pushed further shows their intellectual bankruptcy. The brittleness and inflexibility of their ideology to deal with these sorts of challenges belies its inherent internal fragility.

Truly though, the anti-White animus held by MAGA communists is the ultimate death knell, and Hinkle's/Haz's feckless attempts at defending the genocidal anti-White Julius Malema of South Africa shows how hollow and inconsistent their arguments really are. Even their anti-Zionism is framed in the most cringe anti-White way possible, despite the multitudinous negative effects that ordinary Americans suffer from being beholden to this foreign ideology. Ironically, the fact MAGA Communism is brimming with browns ends up bolstering (again) basic nationalist beliefs that people are naturally tribalistic and ultimately end up coalescing with their co-ethnics at the end of the day.

Funniest part of the piece is referring to them as leftists...you just know Haz is gonna seethe when he reads that lmao

Keith, the reason why they only critique Zionism but not the people behind it is because this is basically what the "tankie" i.e., Stalinist version of Communism allowed. The USSR was anti-Zionist because they realized that the Jews were abandoning Communism for it. Choosing Trotsky over Stalin and the USSR. Now, modern day Russia is far more pro-Zionist because the Trotsky faction won out with Andropov and Gorbachev detonating the USSR to effect "Convergence" with the West and to accept ideological Zionism. Yeltsin and Putin accelerated this trend. But Russia still allows a Communist-style critique of Zionism. The man in charge of Russia's online propaganda efforts is named Kiriyenko and he is an old-school Communist who had a grandfather in the secret police, very close to Lenin. He is the one who hires people like Hinkle or Haz.

I've written a lot about it and I know you know your stuff about Marxism as well.

Perhaps we could have a conversation about all of this someday.
